Gospeling the Gospel That's right!  We are celebrating the birth of Christ by putting the gospel account of His birth to up-beat and exciting gospel music. The evening's celebration will begin with the Praise Ringers offering the traditional song "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" followed by an exciting rendition of "Joy to the World". This will set the stage for the Christmas celebration "JOY!" presented by the choir. Composer Joel Raney says, "Joy! tells the story of Christ's birth through six choral anthems in a variety of styles based on both familiar Christmas carols and original material. There are upbeat blues Gospel numbers as well as slower ballads in a gospel groove, plus one Calypso tune." So you can see that you are in for an evening of joyful celebration of Christ's birth. As usual there will be childcare for the evening and cookie fellowship afterwards.
